Gladiator Clown and Other Ocellaris Clowns in Same Tank?

[IndyReef78]

We currently have a single Gladiator Clown in our 120 gallon (along with other reef safe fish). We’d love to add another clown or two or three but aren’t sure of the rules, so to speak.

Can we add another type of Ocellaris clown ( like the black ice) with the gladiator or will that cause problems? Do they just have to be the same species (Ocellaris) as opposed to mixing Ocellaris and percula for example?

Hi most ocellaris will be fine however some are more aggressive than others, I've kept a gladiator with a black onyx snowflake before without issue. I wouldn't have anymore than two though unless you plan on having a harem as ime if you have three, two will bond and will bully the other one to death

You can put other Occ's together in the same tank. If you have more than 2, they will likely pair off and beat up on the others.

I have two sets of clowns now (Gladiator and Ocellaris) and they do well with on another in my tank (150g). I did try to add another pair in there, but unfortunately they didn't make it, so it seems like 2 pairs might be all I can house in my tank set up.

I would stay clear of Maroon Clowns though. I heard they're a nightmare when trying to pair with other clowns.
